OMG ! I have the latest addition of the Nutrional Healing Book. You

certainly get your $'s worth. The amount of supplements recommended for ms is

overwhelming. Gosh, your menu is very limited. I hope you will be able to add

more to it once you determine to go vegetarian. Have you looked into the Best

Bet Diet? Are you mobile? Do you exercise at all? Wondering if your weight

loss is from diet and exercise? Have you done any research on LDN? You are

so newly diagnosed that if LDN would work for you (doesn't work for everyone) it

could halt your progression and might relieve some of your symptoms. It is not

a crab drug. There are other alternative things you can do. Best wishes.

them with oregano and oil oil) and fish (but now I am only taking

flaxseed oil because I went to the Peta site and saw the fish farms).

Hi. Thank you for getting back to me. I'm so glad you are eating more than

what you originally posted. Potatoes? I'm 95% Irish. I love yams and sweet

and potatoes. You get the tripple treat of great taste, Vitaminin C and fiber.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have handled things differently. My mom

had a severe case of ms. She was bedridden @the end when she died @38. I was

14. In my early 20s I started to get the tingling and I went to a neuro right

away. A spinal tap confirmed I had ms. With that diagnosis I was convinced I

would be dead by my 38th birthday. My next symptom 7 years later ways Optic

neuritis. Treated it went away. I really didn't have anymore symptoms until

about 15 years ago. My walking began to be affected. Up to this time I was

very physically active. I tried beta seron, copaxone, solumedral, novantrone,

chinese herbs, glyconutients. I continued to go downhill. When I lost my job

and health ins two years ago I was using a

wheeled walker. I now take a nutritional product called reliv. It does seem

to give me leg strength. I also started LDN a year and one half ago. At the

very least LDN is supposed to help stop the progression. Others have gotten

system relief. I have not gotten the symptom relief. A month ago I picked up

my cane and to my surprise I was able to use it. I've been practicing indoors.

I just need to figure out the fatigue factor. I can get my balance back but I

still need to have energy to make the cane thing work. long distance I would

love to return to the pool. I was in the best shape of my life when I did water

aerobics. That was when I could walk with no problem. My point for you is,

that now would be a good time for you to look into LDN. The hard part is to get

a dr to prescribe it for you. It is not approved for treating ms (for alcohol

addiction at a much higher dose). My neuro would not prescribe it for me.

Since losing my ins I found a low cost gp

who will. You cannot take it with most CRAB drugs. I am 56 now and waiting

for a miracle. Regards, Marguerite

marguerite, To answer you question: yes I am fully mobile; I was

diagnosed due to Optic neuritis and this winter I was a fall risk as

well; but since I have been in PT, OT, and other therapies as well as
